Virtualbox harddrive question

[High Chief]

Is there a way to install a virtual hard drive image on a different partition? If so how? To be more specific, I want to install on a shared fat32 partition instead of my Ubuntu partition.

Apologies if this has been asked before I couldn't find anything on the search.

How to install Ubuntu Linux on Windows using VirtualBox (http://www.my-guides.net/en/content/view/112/26/)

Go to "Setting up our Virtual Machine I" and then view the "Virtual Disk Location and Size" image.

Of course make sure that your fat32 disk is mounted first.

Thanks but now I have a problem. Virtualbox won't let me create a vdi file on the shared partition or even create a folder. I guess the program doesn't have write privileges? How do I fix this?
